While U.S. News aggregates mountains of data to produce the annual rankings of Best Graduate Schools, the figures are also useful when examined on a smaller scale. The U.S. News Short List, separate from the overall rankings, magnifies individual data points in hopes of providing students and parents a way to find which graduate programs excel or have room to grow in specific areas that are important to them. Also, be sure to check out The Short List: College and The Short List: Online Programs.
